Tessa Duke

Screenwriter Connecticut

I studied screenwriting at Ithaca College and graduated in 2016. Since then, my screenplay "Some Elsewhere" received the Grand Prize Award at the Cannes Screenwriting contest, and was also ranked in the top 10% of the Academy Awards Nicholls Fellowship submission. I am thrilled to be attending Austin Film Festival for my second-round screenplay "Pre-Existing". I am delighted to connect with fellow screenwriters at such a vibrant conference!
